Pipe Dreams
Issue #10, Fall 2009
This issue explores our wildest dreams--and the means we use to acheive them.

 

Speak and Destroy
Issue #9, Summer 2009
Communication is always one's best bet. Read about the fall of the silent-film era by way of Felix the Cat, and South Africa's Taal Paal--perhaps the world's only monument to a language. Also includes a pull-out poster of the Proto-Indo-European language tree featuring toungues you never knew existed!

Cut & Paste
Issue #8, Spring 2009
All manners of cultural and visual appropriation (and the ethics therein) are covered in this collage-ridden issue of ARP!.

Conceptual Issue
Issue #7, Winter 2009
In theory ... This issue contains the Art Shanty Projects Newspaper insert, and advice from Sol LeWitt on the topic of romance, and other things, too.
DissentObjectProtest
Issue #6, Fall 2008
In response to the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, we decided to feature content that proposed alternatives to the typical protest. Also in this issue is a poster by Hardland/Heartland, an illustrated timeline of radical movements in Minnesota, and an appeal to the Republican party by Andy Sturdevant.  
Collecting & Collection
Issue #5, Summer 2008
Features interviews with local art, debt, and junk collectors as well as thoughts on the notion of value, and the nature of hoarding.
Rants & _____
Issue #4, Spring 2008
Polarized cheers and jeers.
Process is Dead (Long Live Progress?)
Issue #3, Winter 2008
This issue is entirely hand-written and features interviews with both the former (Ann Klefstad), and then-new editor (Susannah Schouweiler) of mnartists.org, and local sign-painters Forrest Wozniak and Phil Vandervoort. It's a large file due to all the scans and images, but the interviews are worth reading.
Selective Recall: Twin Cities Art History Issue #2, Fall 2007--In two parts
As much as we could gather about the local art scene since 1945. This issue features an article on the origins of Minneapolis's alternative gallery scene, a history of local alternative art publications, and a six-page pull-out timeline covering local venues since 1945 (whew!).
Articles & Reviews
Timeline
Private/Public
Issue #1, Spring 2007
This is our first one! Includes articles on (somewhat privatized) "public" collections, the copy-left movement, and a feature on local artist, David Enblom.
